Yes, the Easy 8 would eat a T34-85 for lunch. Wanna know how I know? Because they frickin DID in Korea. I know, I know, the argument is that the Nork Tankers were shit tier and it was the operator, not the equipment. I disagree with that. Honestly, they had more combat experience than the American Tankers going up against them. Maybe training was that much better, I could buy that, but really, am I supposed to believe that SSGT Igor in 1946 was really THAT much better trained than a NORK tanker? I mean, everything in Soviet Russia was expendable. The tank AND the crew. Otherwise, why not make it actually possible to get out of the tank if you had to, real quick?

About e..."...bigger, meaner neighbor..."?<br />About equally mean, and the littler one's been beating up the bigger one's even littler cousins, and kinda pointing weapons in the bigger's general direction for some time. Big men have to be patient, but it does run out. And I'm no fan of Russia or Bald Vlad; I'm just less a fan of Ukraine.<br />--Tennessee BuddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
